Roberto Tomás Jover holds a Ph.D, a MSc. Degree in Civil Engineering and a MSc. Degree in Geological Engineering from the University of Alicante. Currently he is Professor of Geotechnical Engineering at the University of Alicante’s Department of Civil Engineering and guess professor in the Chengdu University of Technology (China). He is director, on behalf of the University of Alicante, of the IGME-UA Joint Research Unit for Ground Movement Monitoring Using Radar Interferometry (UNIRAD), leader of the Geotechnical and Structural Engineering (INTERES)research group, collaborator of the IGME’s Geohazards InSAR laboratory and Modelling Group and member of the UNESCO Land Subsidence International Initiative (LASII). His main research interest is the application of remote sensing techniques to the study of geological and geotechnical phenomena and rock masses. The main themes of his work are: a) monitoring and characterisation of landslides, land subsidence and infrastructures using SAR interferometry; b) rock mass characterisation and monitoring using 3D point clouds; and c) rock mass geomechanical classifications and intact rock characterisation when subjected to high temperatures or saturation.
